What happens when your race plan falls apart… and you still find a way to podium?

In this episode of The Price for Paradise Podcast, Woody sits down with Hannah Howerter after the Vortex Ultra Marathon in Sedona, where Hannah accidentally ran about 5 extra miles, finished around 39 miles total, and still fought her way back onto the podium.

Hannah shares the full story of getting lost mid-race, sprinting back to the course, using frustration as fuel, and pushing herself back into contention. What could have broken her mentally became the thing that lit the fire.

This conversation goes deep into ultra marathon mindset, race strategy, fueling, hydration, caffeine, ketones, training volume, sacrifice, routine, faith, and the relentless standard Hannah holds herself to in running, work, and life.

We also talk about her upcoming 100-mile race, what it takes to build toward 60–70 mile training weeks, and why cardio, discipline, and consistency carry over into every area of life.
